The first batch of machines developed by the researchers in the barren mountains was quickly built. In order to test the effectiveness of these machines in pressing oil and making sugar, the scholars personally led their students to make them, and a batch of bright-colored oil was extracted.
The brown sugar produced is free of any impurities, and the bags of brown sugar blocks look very appealing.
Even the white sugar was made to look quite professional, except it had a slightly yellowish tint.
"The oil and brown sugar are ready for production, but the white sugar is not decolorized properly. We need to continue researching the machines and improving the process to produce pure white sugar!" Zhong Yan was not satisfied with the results of the white sugar production.
Before her rebirth, she worked at a physics research institute, where she was meticulous in everything and could not accept such minor flaws.
However, for the people living in the barren mountains, the things produced by these machines are beyond their reach.
These ordinary people had never seen soybean oil and white sugar of this quality before! And the brown sugar was surprisingly free of sand, and tasted incredibly sweet.
And there was no sand at all!
This quality is probably only something that royalty and nobility can afford!
Of course, this group of people had no idea that not only the royal family and nobles in the palace, but even the emperor could not enjoy oil and sugar of this quality.
The technology of this world is far from reaching this level. If it weren't for a group of time travelers researching machines, it would probably have taken another 100 years.
“Dr. Zhong, this level is already ready for production. If we go too far in perfecting it, producing sugar that is as white as snow will only cause trouble.”
Zhang Jing shook her head.
My younger sister, Zhang Yao, enjoys reading historical time-travel novels, and as a result, Zhang Jing is also quite familiar with these novels.
The white sugar they developed is already amazing enough; there's no need to waste time researching the machine.
Ancient techniques simply couldn't achieve the desired effect, and continuing to waste time, they didn't know when the research would end.
Zhong Yan was very disappointed and could only wave her hand helplessly. "Alright, let's place the order for this batch of machines then. I'll find some time to study the blueprints for those large water conservancy machines."
Currently, all the machines they have developed rely on human labor. Large-scale water-powered textile machines will still require further development and time.
However, it was winter, so large water-powered machines were not needed, which gave them plenty of time to think.
"I'll take my apprentices to make the wooden machines. I'll make the machines the factory needs as quickly as possible. The rest is up to Lin Tong!" Carpenter Wu patted his chest and promised.
Lin Tong's ability is to melt metal. With her around, it would be great to work with a simple lathe to create the machines that everyone wants.
The barren mountain quickly became lively again, and even in the cold weather, everyone's enthusiasm remained high.
The weather outside was cold, so Lin Mo simply had Zhang Yao build several houses inside and outside the valley to house the group of scholars who were studying the blueprints, for fear that these bright minds would get cold.
Seeing Zhang Yao busy working on the earthen wall, Lin Mo breathed on her hands to warm them.
“Grandfather, do you think we should move the school here as well? The weather outside is getting colder and colder. The children there almost freeze their hands when they do their homework.”
Grandma Gongsun looked at the crops in the valley and finally shook her head.
"The secrets in the valley are not suitable for those children to know. A group of children are simple-minded, and outsiders can easily find out by asking them a few questions."
“Even though the barren mountains have begun to develop, we must proceed with caution.”
Grandma Gongsun looked very serious. She was determined to protect the mountain goddess's desolate mountain and not let it become a mess!
"Perhaps you could ask Xia Yan, that child; she might have a new way to keep warm."
Grandma Gongsun could see very clearly that there was a group of people in the barren mountain who seemed to come from another world.
Moreover, the Mountain Goddess really likes these people and has brought many "time travelers" with her.
Originally, Old Lady Gongsun was a little jealous, but after seeing how much these people had made to the barren mountain and how they had now developed all kinds of machines needed by factories, she lost all interest in them.
Although those people talk strangely on a daily basis, they are indeed very outstanding. Isn't it perfectly normal for outstanding people to be favored by the Mountain Goddess?
As Grandma Gongsun walked away, Lin Mo decisively went to find Xia Yan.
Xia Yan now has her own school, where she teaches about a dozen children who love magic to draw magic circles.
"Sister Momo, you're here!"
A group of children were engrossed in the magic circle. Xia Yan took Lin Mo to the next room, which she had placed a silencing array on. Even if they were fighting inside, no one outside could hear the commotion.
"Miss Xia, do you have any way to keep warm? Like a charcoal fire, to warm up the room?" Lin Mo explained.
Having lived with that group of time travelers for several months, the things she said began to sound somewhat like those of modern people.
"Warming up? Great! I've just figured out a magic circle for warmth these past couple of days. However, this kind of circle needs magic stones to replenish it, and I haven't found any magic stones here, so there's no solution to this problem for now."
While the other villagers were studying various machines, Xia Yan helped out. She was able to inscribe magic circles on them to improve the efficiency of those machines.
However, once she leaves, those magic circles won't last long and will soon dissipate.
The two looked at each other in bewilderment.
Lin Mo didn't understand what the magic stone was, and Xia Yan felt disappointed that she couldn't help everyone.
Even with such abundant magic in the barren mountains, the magic circle couldn't be sustained for long, let alone in those places outside where magic was scarce.
